hey guys, i am to program a simple blackjack program that generates two random cards for the user and ask if the user wants to stay or hit it. so far, when i tried to compile the program, nothing showed up and showed me this message: "The program '[492] alt.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0)."

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;

#define HIGH 11
#define LOW 1

int playfirst;
int playsecond;
int temp;
time_t seconds;

void deal (bool faceup) //deal function
{
    time_t seconds;
    time(&seconds);
    srand((unsigned int) seconds);
    temp = rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) + LOW;
    if (faceup == true)
        if (temp != 11)
            cout << temp << endl;
        else
            cout << "Ace" << endl;
    else 
        cout << "Unkown  card \n";
}

int main ()
{

    cout << "Blackjack Program \n";
    cout << endl << "Your cards" << endl;
    time(&seconds);
    srand((unsigned int) seconds);
    deal (true); //Deals your first card
    time(&seconds);
    srand((unsigned int) seconds); 
    playfirst = temp;
    deal (true); //deals your second card
    playsecond = temp;
    cout << "Hit (H) or Stand (S)?" << endl;
    
    return (0);
}

Congratulations, it compiled and ran!
Now you need to find your output. If you're using XCode, look for the console. You might use break points to force it to appear. Visual Studio has something similar, but I don't remember what it's called.

It compiles fine for me but at line 44

	    cout << "Hit (H) or Stand (S)?" << endl;

You prompt the user for input, then immediately exit the program

thank you! i have figured it out. I was missing a cin statement XP
